As a tool to help players further define their Starfleet officer character I thought I would start a thread discussing Starfleet Academy. The first topic is of course: is majors and minors. Or more or less what did my character study at the academy?
Like any four year school, typically by the second or third year you must select a major and often a minor which is your focus area for your studies.
Note the numbered items are major areas. The lettered topics are sub categories of those major areas is your character wants to further specialize. The topics preceeded by dashes are subcategories of the lettered topics.

A. Computer/Information Sciences
- Computer Programming
B. Information Technology
2. Engineering
A. Astronautics
B. Engineering
C. Computer Hardware Engineering
D. Electrical/Communications Engineering
E. Mechanical Engineering
2. Linguistics

Please post comments and suggestions if you wish.
